ZUIHITSU-Random notes on Judo by Ronald Désormeaux 1 JUDO RON 56 - Demystifying Judo Competition Aim Many new judo students and current classmates are about to witness an array of judo Shiai involving designated judoka from several provinces who will participate a t the Canadian Nationals in July 2012 and watch the Canadian delegation perform at the highest levels of competition at the London Olympics in August 2012. In the case of the Canadian National Champion ships, some of y ou will be first time spectators from the bleachers. As for the Olympics and the Paralympics, most of us will be viewers glued to our seat for many hours, watching in awe the performance of so many good judoka. Unless clear cut IPPON are successful, the declaration of winners or the attribution of second and third place ranking will be difficult to render. From our different point of views and bias, we may have a tendency to offer a different opinion as to the outcomes of the contests and which will likely contrast from the referee or the  judges. In the next few paragraphs, I would li ke to summarize the evolution of the Judo Contest rules and exposed some of the scoring tables as well as the principal factors to consider when one is watching judo Shiai. Judo contest rules evolution For the first eighteen years in the growth of the Kodokan (1882-1899) there were no written rules for judo competition or Randori per se. At least no written ones have been discovered. We know that Randori was one of the two training methods of the Kodokan and kata being the other one. In accordance with Dr Kano educational philosophy and safety concerns there must have been some agreed set of guidelines for Randori in order to prevent serious injuries. Syd Hoare, a reputed judo historian and senior se nsei, mentioned in a lecture giv en at the Bath University in August 2005 that Dr Kano, when addressing the Japanese Education Society in 1888 identified four various types of Randori prevalent amongst the jujitsu schools. The first concentrated on flexible throwing techniques. The second focused on throws but used more strength. The third relied upon strangulation techniques and twisting of the arms while the fourth concentrated on restraining an opponent and depriving him of his freedom to move.
